DLMS IC Revisions to Update Data Elements (Form Stock Number 

and Manufacturer’s Part Number), Removal of Plant Equipment 

Number, and Administrative Updates

1. ORIGINATING SERVICE/AGENCY AND POC INFORMATION:

a. Eric Flanagan, DOD MILSTRIP Administrator, Enterprise Business Standards Office 

(EBSO), e-mail: Eric.Flanagan@dla.mil

b. Rafael Gonzalez, DOD MILSTRAP Administrator, EBSO, e-mail: 

Rafael.Gonzalez@dla.mil

2. FUNCTIONAL AREA: Supply (MILSTRIP and MILSTRAP)

3. REFERENCE: DLM 4000.25, Defense Logistics Management Standards (DLMS) May 19, 

2014, and associated DLMS implementation conventions (IC)

4. APPROVED CHANGE(S): Text highlighted in green indicates changes from the Proposed 

DLMS Change (PDC).

a. Brief Overview of Change:

(1) This change increases the maximum length of the elements that convey the 

identifiers qualified by FQ Form Stock Number in the REF segment, and MF Manufacturer’s 

Part Number in the N9 segment. The detailed changes are in the IC change tables within the 

enclosure.

(2) This change removes an unused planned DLMS enhancement that identified a 

Plant Equipment Number.

Staffing Note: EBSO can neither identify an authoritative source for the Plant Equipment 

Number element nor identify a Component that has expressed a need for it. A staffing note in 

the PDC tasked Components that have specific DLMS requirements for the Plant Equipment 

Number data element to notify EBSO in their formal response to the PDC version of this change. 

In addition, it tasked the Component to submit a new PDC detailing usage, definition, and 

characteristics/field length of the data element. Since no Component identified a requirement to 

retain the data element during PDC staffing, this ADC directs removal of the data from the 

impacted DLMS implementation conventions.

(3) This change includes administrative updates to remove several Federal notes 

from DLMS ICs affected by this change. DLMS X12 ICs are located on the EBSO website (See 

Reference 3.).
Attachment, ADC 1287

b. Background:

(1) The Navy identified issues with the data element field size for FQ Form Stock 

Number and MF Manufacturer’s Part Number while updating the DLMS 867D Demand 

Reporting transaction. X12 version 4010, limits REF02, Data Element (DE) 127 Reference 

Identification to 30 characters. The Logistics Data Resource Management System (LOGDRMS)

identifies the known data field size requirement for the FQ and MF qualifier as shown below:

X12 

Code X12 Code Name DLMS Element Name

Data Field Size 

Requirement 

Min/Max

FQ Form Number Form Stock Number 1/40

MF Manufacturer's Part 

Number

Manufacturer's Part 

Number

1/32

(2) The LOGDRMS defines some of the reference identifiers with a min/max 

size that truncates the data in the DLMS 867D because of the field size restriction. Further 

research revealed a similar field length description that also affects the transactions listed below. 

Depending on the transaction, either the REF segment or N9 segment will require mapping 

changes.

(a) 517G Management Control Activity Validation

(b) 517M Materiel Obligation Validation

(c) 536L Logistics Reassignment Management Data

(d) 824R Reject Advice

(e) 867D Demand Reporting

(f) 867I Issue

(g) 869A Requisition Inquiry/Supply Assistance Request

(h) 869F Requisition Follow-Up

(i) 888A SA/LW Data Change

(j) 888I Storage Item Correction

(k) 947I Inventory Adjustment (4010 only)

(3) The Navy noticed an inconsistency in the DLMS 867D (2/N1/50) N103 DE

66 and N104 DE 67 Federal Note related to the use of N101 Code ZE to identify the end item 

manufacturer. The existing N104 Federal Note incorrectly states, “Use with N101 Code ZE.”

c. Approved Change in Detail:

(1) Accommodate a greater field length by using REF03 DE 352 – Description 

and N903 DE 369 – Free-Form Description instead of DE 127 – Reference Identification. 

REF03 DE 352 and N903 DE 369 allow a maximum of 80 and 45 characters, respectively. This

changes the location of the FQ and MF qualifier data values from the REF02 or N902 to REF03 

or N903, depending on the DLMS implementation convention. Table 1 identifies the qualifiers 

that this change will re-map.

(2) Remove Qualifier EQ Equipment Number and A1 Plant Equipment number 

from the DLMS implementation conventions shown in Table 2. This change is confirmed based 

upon Component responses to the staffing note in paragraph 4.a.(2) during PDC staffing. The 

data element identifiers for Plant Equipment Number are shown below:

(3) DLMS IC 867D, remove the 2/N104/50 Federal Note "Do not use with N101 

Code ZE.”

(4) Due to the large number of ICs involved, this ADC does not include a change 

table for each affected IC by the removal of Qualifier A1. The IC tables display the removal of 

the EQ qualifier at the data element level only. This change removes the Qualifier EQ from all 

applicable ICs, but the IC change tables display the removal of Qualifier EQ at the data element 

level only.

(5) Revisions to DLM 4000.25 Manuals: See the Enclosure for modifications 

to DLMS Implementation Conventions.

5. REASON FOR CHANGE: The current maximum length of several identifiers is too short 

to accommodate the required data. This change increases the maximum length of the elements 

that convey the identifiers qualified by FQ Form Stock Number in the REF segment, and 

Manufacturer’s Part Number in the N9 segment. See details in the IC change tables in the 

enclosure.

6. ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES:

a. Advantages: Prevents data truncation and errors during the X12 transmission.

b. Disadvantages: Component systems may need to update their applications and 

translation mapping to enable this change.

7. ESTIMATED TIME LINE/IMPLEMENTATION TARGET: Affected program offices 

may implement this change upon approval of the ADC.

8. ESTIMATED SAVINGS/COST AVOIDANCE ASSOCIATED WITH 

IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS CHANGE: None noted.

9. IMPACT:

a. New DLMS Data Elements: None.

b. Changes to DLMS Data Elements: Delete DLMS Qualifier EQ – Plant Equipment 

Number from LOGDRMS.

c. Automated Information Systems (AIS): Components must update corresponding 

mapping to correct X12 translation to accommodate greater field lengths.

d. Defense Automatic Addressing System (DAAS): Update corresponding mapping 

to correct X12 translation to accommodate greater field lengths.

e. Non-DLM 4000.25 Series Publications: May require revision to internal 

Component documentation.

10. PROPOSED DLMS CHANGE (PDC) 1287 RESPONSE/COMMENT RESOLUTION:

Component Response/Comment Disposition

1. DLA Concur with Comment

Comment 1: Possible additional transactions requiring 

mapping changes.

869F Requisition Followup (DIC AT_, OF-INT-0066) 

will create a Sales Order in EBS if one is not present. EBS 

calls OF-INT-0055 logic to create the Sales Order. 

Therefore, recommend validate if segments will require 

mapping changes for the 511R (DIC A0_, A3_, A4_, 

A_2/A_B). Also recomment looking at the 511M (DIC 

AM_) transaction.

Comment 2: MF - Manufacturers Part Number in SAP 

EBS for DLA Real Property EBS has potential impact due 

to limitation of Manufacutrers part number field on 

equipment master to 30 characters

Config change would be needed to increase field in SAP 

EBS from 30 to 32 as noted from PDC.

Table 1 and Table 2 identify 

the full list of DLMS 

transactions affected by this 

change. That includes the 

transactions identified in 

DLA’s response.
